water
Everyone know water is important and I think if you are not used to drinking enough water for you personalized plan or know what that much water looks like, it is a good idea to keep track of it until it becomes an everyday thing.
When we are kids, we know when we are thirsty and we ask for something to drink. As we age, we lose that ability. At times, when we think we are hungry we actually need water. So you're mind is confused and you eat when you should drink. Because of this you should drink a glass of water between meals and see if you cravings go away. If your hunger does not go away then you know you should eat something.
If you don't get enough water you can lower your metabolism as much as 3%, which will cause you to gain weight
German researchers found that by drinking 6 cups of cold water per day can raise metabolism 50 calories daily. Enough to shed 5lbs per year. I don’t know if this is true but couldn’t hurt.
Body weight divided by two equals amount of water in ounces you should consume each day.

How Often Do you weigh yourself?
A lot of weight lost programs will recommend weighing only once a week or even once a month. A study which tracked obese or overweight adults trying to lose weight showed that those who checked their weight more often lost more weight and prevented more weight gain over two years than those who weighed themselves less frequently.
It really depends on the individual. If you get discouraged easily, daily weighing that don’t show rapid weight loss may cause you to give up or quit your diet. The opposite of that would be, if you crave control and feedback, daily weighing might satisfy more of your needs and fuel your motivation. Keep in mind, weighing yourself in the morning is best, daily fluctuation in weight is common, women, if it’s your time of the month, there are may be more variation than normal. Finally don’t just look at the numbers. Are you feeling healthier, are you clothes fitting more lose, your own perception of how you feel is sometimes the best motivator as you continue your program.
